 In this holiday film, Vaughn and Witherspoon play a couple who struggle to visit all four of their divorced parents' homes on Christmas day.
Kate and Brad find themselves grounded due to fog. Their usual trip to an exotic vacation for Christmas has now changed and they find themselves, out of obligation, going to four relative festivities. Brad counts the hours when he can get away while Kate is starting to hear the different kind of clock.
When upscale, happily unmarried San Francisco couple Kate and Brad find themselves socked in by fog on Christmas morning, their exotic vacation plans morph into the family-centric holiday they had, until now, gleefully avoided.
Out of obligation--and unable to escape--they trudge to not one, not two, but four relative-choked festivities, increasingly mortified to find childhood fears raised, adolescent wounds reopened... and their very future together uncertain.
As Brad counts the hours to when he can get away from their parents, step-parents, siblings and nieces and nephews, Kate is starting to hear ticking of a different clock. And by the end of the day, she is beginning to wonder if their crazy families' choices are not so crazy after all.
